Revelation of Things to Come

Revelation of Things to Come is Robert J. Wieland’s study of Revelation, written to make the book’s imagery and predictions understandable. His starting point is Revelation’s own title — the Revelation of Jesus Christ — and he keeps Christ at the centre of every chapter rather than treating the book as a code to crack.

What’s inside Revelation of Things to Come

Most people find Revelation impenetrable because they meet the symbols before they meet the story. Wieland reverses that. The book guides readers through Revelation’s key themes and shows how the message applies to modern life and to future events.

It pairs with his study of Daniel — the two prophetic books were written to be read together, and Wieland’s treatment of each assumes the other.

• The central role of Christ in Bible prophecy
• The meaning of Revelation’s major symbols
• How Revelation connects to world history
• The Bible’s message about the Second Coming
• God’s plan for His people through the final events
• Chapter by chapter, written for church members

Who this book is for

For church members who have avoided Revelation because it seemed too difficult, and for Bible study groups working through prophecy. It is a study, not a quick read.

It is usually read after Daniel Reveals the Future, and the two are often bought together.
